Why it doesn't work?

I don't know what I did wrong, can someone help me to take a look on it? Sometimes when I was doing exercise in treehouse, even it looks like the same with other correct answer online, it doesn't work. And after I copy and paste the correct answer, it works, is it because of indent?

Thanks

class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)

    @classmethod

        pattern_list = string.split('-')
        str_patterns = []
        for blip in pattern_list:

Your code is very close!

The only issue I see is that the dash is being represented in the pattern by a hyphen ("-"), but it should be represented by an underscore ("_") instead.

It works! Thanks :)
